Characterization Study of Synthetic Iron Oxide nanoparticles at Different Temperature

In the atmosphere, the Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized in a method called “solid-state chemical reaction”. The resulting powder were characterized by XRD (for 0 C’ and 600 C’, SEM and EDAX technique). The SEM were used to measure the mean particle sizes of the iron oxide nanoparticles. The resulting effects of the temperature were examine on the particle site and phase formations. The processing of the produced powders of maghemite (ȣ-Fe2O3) was altered to hematite (α-Fe2O3). Furthermore, with the increment of the milling times the iron oxide size decreased.
